If Sai Baba is now 'one with Brahman' and has merged into the 'unmanifest', how can a devotee still connect with him to overcome fear and find guidance?

Even though Sai Baba has merged into the unmanifest, Chapter 43 provides clear reassurance that his presence and protection remain. It states that he 'stayed in the hearts of the devotees' and that 'by merely remembering his name, no news of birth or death remains.' The text explicitly advises against doubting his continued presence, stating that in his true form, he fills the entire moving and non-moving world. A devotee's connection is maintained through their own feeling and devotion, as the text confirms, 'Whatever the feeling in one's mind, such is the experience even today.' This direct, internal connection is the means by which devotees can overcome fear and feel his constant guidance.
